CHAPTER 10
RECORDS
CLAIMING A RECORD
Records are only recognised while competing in the correct age group in events held at Bannockburn Oval during the scheduled program. This excludes extra unscheduled events allowed for athletes to record enough performances to qualify for Championships selection.
Generally records will not be recognised while competing in ad hoc mixed age group events. However, records will be recognised for the following mixed events:
• Under 9 Girls & Boys 700m Walk held together,
• Under 10 & 11 Girls & Boys 1100m Walk, held in any combination,
• Under 12 Girls & Boys 1500m Walk held together,
• Under 13 to 17 Girls & Boys 1500m Walk, held in any combination,
• Any combination of Under 13 to 17 Girls & Boys 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m & 3000m that the Championships and Age Manager Officer decides to hold for operational reasons, and
• Any Field event combination provided that the correct technical specifications are used and the Championships and Age Manager Officer has approved the event.
In general, athletes may not request to compete in a combined event. Only the Track & Field Officer may, at his discretion, decide to combine suitable events to assist in the timely running of the Saturday morning program.
Please note that the above rules for records also apply more generally to recording Season Best Performances.
The procedure for recognising a new or equal Centre Record on the Saturday morning of the performance is as follows:
For FIELD events
• Age Manager performs initial measurement and confirms potential record. All marks and measuring equipment to remain untouched.
• An Executive attends the event area and verifies the performance.
• Age Manager enters the result in the electronic results system and confirms the record.
• The Announcer may make an announcement to athletes and parents.
• Later in the week the Results Officer will update the permanent Centre record in the results system.
• After electronic results are updated the Results Officer and Championships Officer will review the record.
• If the result is confirmed to have been obtained in the correct age group / distance it will be updated.
• If the result has been obtained in a mixed event (except those below) or on a temporary event area it will be reviewed by the Records Sub-Committee,
• If the result is discovered on the day, the Announcer may make an announcement of a provisional record to athletes and parents.
If a possible record is discovered after the end of
the Saturday morning competition, contact the Records and Rankings Officer. Recognition of such records may be delayed or even denied unless some verification can be found – for example, a properly completed results sheet.
